Which countries can't I choose when signing up for expat health insurance?
Expat health insurance isn't available for the following countries, so you can't select them when asked "Which country do you want to be insured in?" at sign-up. This applies whether it's your new country of residence, the country issuing your residence permit or visa, or a country where you plan to stay for a few weeks or months without needing a visa or residence permit.
You can't select Poland, even though Poland is part of the EU.
You can't select Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway, or Switzerland, even though they're part of the Schengen Area.
You can't select any country outside the EU, whether in Europe or elsewhere, except Monaco.
Does expat health insurance cover me when I travel to a country I can't choose at sign-up?
Expat health insurance covers travel to some countries you can't choose at sign-up. Travel cover includes the same medical treatment you're covered for in the country you selected. What's covered depends on where you travel:
Poland, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway, Switzerland, Andorra, San Marino, and Vatican City are covered for trips of up to 90 days each, with no limit on the number of trips per year.
Other countries outside the EU and the Schengen Area, such as the United Kingdom, aren't covered.
Your country of origin is covered for up to 6 weeks of travel per year once you've had your policy for 12 months, even if that country is outside the EU and the Schengen Area. Your country of origin is the country you lived in immediately before your policy started.

Do I need to create an account to sign up for Expat health insurance?
If it's your first time signing up with us, you'll be asked to create an account during the sign-up process. The account is set up as part of the sign-up flow, so you don't need to register separately beforehand.
Can I add dependents when signing up?
You can add dependents to your policy after signing up for your own policy. You can also get a quote and review the plan details before completing your purchase.
Which occupation should I select during sign-up?
You should select the option that best describes your situation when you arrive in your selected country. The occupation question is used to verify your eligibility for Expat health insurance at sign-up. The available options are:
Have a job lined up: you have accepted a job offer in your new country of residence but have not started yet.
Employed: you are currently working under an employment contract there or elsewhere. If the company you work for has an office in that country and you have an employment contract from that country, you are considered to be employed there. If these conditions do not apply, select "No, elsewhere" to the follow-up question about whether you are employed in that country.
Self-employed: you work for yourself, including freelancers and independent contractors.
Student: you are enrolled in a course of study there.
Retired: you are no longer working and are fully retired.
Unemployed: you are not currently working.
Other: none of the above options accurately describe your situation.
All situations other than being employed are eligible for Expat health insurance. If you are transitioning between statuses, select the option that most closely reflects your situation upon arrival, or select "Other" if none apply.
Do I need to declare pre-existing conditions when signing up?
There is nothing to declare about pre-existing conditions when signing up for Expat health insurance. If you later submit a claim, we will review the doctor's detailed reports related to that claim to check whether the condition existed before the policy start date, or whether the diagnosis implies a condition that would have been pre-existing.
